Bankrupt Sale.
This means money in your pocket. Once in. a
life -time you will hear of goods being sold at
Half Price,

low we gave you goods previous to Jan. 1st,
Remember, they are still
Cheaper now,
This week we are going through our stock,
Re -marking Everything Down. This is the
second time of re -marking, and we have put the
knife still deeper into prices. In reality, it will
mean goods at
25 and 30 per cent, less
than Wholesale Prices,
This reduction will apply to everything in the
store, excepting a few staples we've added, such
as -Towelling, Flannelettes, Factory Cotton, Boots,
Shoes and Groceries -these we will give you at
Cost Prices, and some below. Since taking over
this Business, we have met with great success in
the reducing of the stock, but you will find a
good assortment left yet. Sale will end about
the 1st of March. <'
Remember, from now until then,
no reasonable offer refused, as
everything must be sold : : :

Stanfield's Unshrinkable
Underwear
Is made from the finest Nova Scotia Wool,
which is famous for its softness, strength and
elasticity, not found in any other wool in the
world -and Stanfield's is the only Underwear
in the world made from it.
Warm Enough for
the Northwest . .
It is knitted to de-
fy 40 and 50 below
zero, without being
heavy or clumsy. It
is made for Canadian people, to protect them
against Canadian winters. Imported Underwear
is all right for England, but not for Canada.
The Very Thing
for the Farmer.
When working all day
in the cold, ordinary
underwear is not warm
enough, but Stanfield's
being in special weight and knitted in a peculiar
way, is what he wants. All sizes and weights
to suit anybody and everybody -tall or short -
stout or slim. Every garment fully guaranteed.
Your money back if it shrinks. Wear them this
winter, and you'll always wear them. Come in
and see them.

-Hon. Frank Cochrane says : "Pull
is dead" in the administration of the
department of mines. It should be
dead in all the departments.

-February 1st has been fixed as the
date for the taking of a vote in Prince
county, P. E. I., for a repeal of the
Scott Act, to be followed by stricter
legislation_.

-.-The increase of earnings during
October by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way amounted to $978,000, being the
largest increase recorded by any rail-
way system on the continent. The
Grand Trunk Railway during the
same period stood seventh on the list
of gains, with an increase of $225,000,
and the Canadian Northern tenth,
with an increase of $152,900.
**
-It is estimated that the timber cut
this season will he 800,000,000 feet
board measure, and that 125,000 cords
of pulpwood and 2,500,000 railway ties
will be taken out. The estimate for
the cut is larger than that at the cor-
responding period of last season, and
the great amount of railway construc-
tion in progress has made a bigger de-
mand for ties, those cut last year only
numbering 1,986,000.
***
-Farmers on Carberry Plains are
looking forward for the completion of
the Grand Trunk Pacific line in time
to Yaandle next year's crop. The work
of grading has been completed two
miles on each side of Kerfoot. The
Canadian Northern Railway main line
has been completed to Fort Saskatche-
wan, seventeen miles east of Edmon-
ton. A temporary bridge has been
made and the track will be laid into
Edmonton in a very short time.

-Hon. G. W. Ross, ex -Premier of
Ontario, was presented on Thursday
last with a cheque for $35,000 and an
illuminated address by a committee
representing personal and political
friends of the late premier, through-
out the province. The deputation
waited upon Mr. Ross at his home in
Elmsley-place. The address was read
by Senator Cox, and the former pre-
n4er made a feeling reply, reviewing
the ambitions actuating him in his
extensive public life.
-One of the largest Canadian banks,
together with considerable United
States capital, are said to be behind
an enterprise looking to the establish-
ment of immense car shops in Toron-
to. The company will be capitalized
at $5,000,000, and will work in close
conjunction with the Canada Car Co.,
Montreal, who already have more or-
ders than they can possibly fill in the
next five years. If the plans carry
through, employment will be fur-
nished some 2,000 mer.
***
-Patents have been taken out by a
Tennessee inventor for the production
of turpentine from sawdust and chop-
ped up slabs at the rate of two gallons
per ton of sawdust. Methyl alcohol
is likewise obtainable by the processes
covered by the above patents. It is
estimated that a mill cutting 60,000
feet of lumber per day can thus make
$52 net profit per day out of what is
now waste. The cost of the machinery
necessary for amill of the above ca-
pacity is estimated at $9,000.
-There is still an uncertainty about
the majority in the Saskatchewan
election. The latest reports froth the
Liberal side claim a majority of two
for the Scott administration, while
Mr. Haultain's supporters claim a tie.
The count in the hack townships has
not yet reached headquarters, and
some of the ballot boxes are reported
missing, so that there is no telling
what the swanning up inay be. Tliat
the result is so close is indeed a tribute
to Mr. Haultain's popularity and the
cause he supported so nobly.

-.Municipal ownership pays in Port
Arthur and Berlin. At Port Arthur
the net earnings of the various munt-
cipal services were estimated as foil -
lows for the current year 'Electric
railway, $5,509.00; electric Iight, $18,-
987.70 ; telephone, $8,617.10 ; total,
$28,145.80. The balance of the reve-
nue will be raised by a tax of 16 mills
on the dollar, the lowest rate of taxa-
tion yet struck in the history of the
town. It i5 estimated that the tenni-
cipaI water works system of Berlin
will show proetr for' the year of about
$10,000,
-A deputation representing 82 Can-
adian boot and shoe industries, waited
upon theTaxi if Commission on Thurs-
day last and asked for an increased
duty on all fine grades of shoes to the
extent of 35 per cent. Imports from
the United States last year, they said,
amounted to $1,107,100, and if this
money Mitt beenkept in Canada the
Canadian manufacturers would have
been able to specialize more anci re-
duce the cost of production, The
Commission was also asked to reduce
the duty on farm implements, to leave
the export of pulwood untaxed,and
to raise the duty on white lead paints
to 25 per cent. or $1 a gallon.

-To show that wireless telegraphy is
already largely used, we may men-
tion that for the three months, April,
May and June, 1005, the Marconi Co.
sent 1,059 private messages and re-
ceived 3,389. During the sante period
270 messages of 20,010 words were sent
or received from drips far out at sea.
Messages from ships to shore cost
from $1.00 to $1.50 for ten words, and
seven or eight cents each additional
word. A young lady on board a
steamer announced to shorn the time
of the steamers expected arrival in
port. The message was "picked up"
by the Wireless, 1500 miles away at
her Kansas home.

-Under the new government binder
twine contract, Hon. W. J. Hanna
figures that the province will receive
$4,500 per annum in excess of their
old revenue from this source. There
is also a safeguard in the new contract
in regard to price. Under the old
contract the fanners were entitled to
receive binder twine at a cent and a
half in advance of the cost per pound
on a basis therein set out. Under the
new contract the farmers 'are entitled
to twine at one cent per pound in
advance of cost on a like basis, and
the company is bound to advertise
in six different papers for a given
period, and to fill on the basis every
order received.

-Mr. Oliver, Premier of Alberta,
has already begun to reap the fruits
of office. He is accused of having
given three million acres of the most
valuable land in the Province to pri-
vate companies, immediately before
the election. The Toronto News
makes the charge, and calls upon Mr.
Oliver to answer it. Our contempor-
ary says it is estimated that those in
possession of the land will clean up
from eight to ten million dollars by
the deal. The Bruce Herald says --
"They could certainly well afford to
supply Mr. Oliver with the sinews of
war for the election. The land is sel-
ling at seven dollars an acre and did
not cost the company fifty cents.
Froin the way things are going with
our Liberal friends, it is within sight
that men now living will see the en-
tire Northwest in the hands of land -
grabbing companies. And in the
meantime the people of Ontario are
cheerfully paying out millions in
building railroads to increase the
value of these possessions."

-About a dozen of the leading
pork -packing houses in Ontario were
represented in a deputation which
waited upon Hon. Sidney Fisher a few
days ago in connection with the al-
leged shortage of bacon hogs, of which
so much has been heard of late. The
minister promised consideration of all
the matters presented. One of the
difficulties confronting the pork -pack-
ing industry at present is the impor-
tation of hogs from the United States.
Owing to the shortage in Canada of
bacon hogs the packing -houses are
obliged to purchase in Btiffalo and
other American centers. The Ameri-
can hogs, being largely fed on corn,
are inferior in quality to the Canadian
product, and it is feared the reputa-
tion the Canadian product has won
for itself in the British market will
suffer from the export of a poorer
brand of bacon. The Department of
Agriculture is securing information
regarding the shortage of bacon hogs
in Canada, with a view of remedying
the serious condition of affairs.

CANADA'S IRON WEALTH.
Dr. P. L. T. Heroult, Technical Di-
rector of the French Electro -Metal-
lurgical Society, who recently came
to Canada to conduct, some experi-
ments in electric smelting, predicts
that in ten years we will have become
a great metallurgical country, with
larger iron industries than any other
country in the world.
The iron ores of Canada are widely
distributed and embrace almost, every
known variety, including hematites,
magnetitic carbonates, chromic ore
and bog ore. The rich Wabana mines
of the Dominion Iron & Steel Co., and
the Nova Scotia Steel & Coal Co,, on
Great Belle Island, Newfoundland,
are said to contain twenty-eight mill-
ion tons in one outerop, with practi-
cally inexhaustible quantities below
the sen. In New :Brunswick large de-
posits of hematite oro are found near
Woodstock, Carleton county. Along
the shores of the St. Lawrence, from
Saguenay to the Straits of Belle Isle,
are vast quantities of magnetic sand
capable of producing the finest iron,
while inland are deposits still more
rich and more vast. Ontario boasts
of extensive deposits of lean magne-
tite in Macloc, Marmora and Belmont
townships in the east, and nigher
grade ores in varying quantities all
through Nipissing, Parry Mound, Al-
goma, Thunder Bay and Rainy River
districts. The well-known Ilelen Mine
at Michipicotei is yielding on an aver.
ago 800,001 tola'r a year. Almost every
week Wogs word, of Woe fresh d&s
..d
oovsry in the promising region about
Lake Superior, along the continuation
of the 11lesaba and Vermilion Ranges,
which have made the United States
fatuousas an iron ore producer, West-
ward, on Lake Winnipeg, in Southern
Alberta, on Vancouver Inland and
Texada, Island, further deposits of
supposedly great wealth are known to
exist, whose development will certain-
ly follow upon the first signs of ex-
haustion displayed by the soft ore
mitres about Duluth.
As yet our production is small, In
1904, some 350,000 tons was all that
was raised in Canada, the Ilelen Mine
alone being responsible for 85 per cent..
of that amount. But with the active
development work now going ahead
on the .Atikokaa and Loon Lake
Ranges this total may be expected to
increase rapidly, and when Dr. He-
zoult's process of electric smelting has
been perfected, making merchantable
ore out of all low grade magnetites
running from 45 to 55 per cent., there
will be practically no limit to our pos-
sibilities in the way of ore produe-
tion.

-The ratepayers of Galt, Ont., by a
vote of 806 to 62, have granted the
Jackson Waggon Company exemption
from taxes and a loan of $12,000 as an
inducement for them to establish
works in that town. The company is
at present doing business in St.
' George, Ont.
